Chapter 161: The Grand Commander of New Yorkers : Xu Rufang and Proficient Knight Body Forging Technique

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lu Ming and Velo did not know that the Black Feather tribe would not come.

They would never come again…

More than ten days ago, the Mother Tree, accompanied by Simba, Lian Jie and Xu Rufang, pa.s.sed through the territory of the Dragon Spirit.

With three Dragon Beasts ama.s.sed, they took away the Dragon Spirit in one fell swoop and eradicated all the local exotic beasts.

Then they continued forward, aiming for the Black Feather tribe’s stronghold: Black Feather Mountain!

And earlier today, the Mother Tree arrived outside New York’s gathering place.

From afar, the Mother Tree witnessed the dire scene within the New York gathering place.

They saw a large number of Black Feather tribe members flying in the sky, recklessly capturing New Yorkers.

Some were killed on the spot and transformed into blood essence energy.

Some women and children were captured, taken to the distant Black Feather Mountain for breeding.

Flames, screams.

The overwhelming strength brought absolute oppression.

However, the Mother Tree did not show much emotional fluctuation—it was not familiar with the New Yorkers.

It just looked at the Black Feather tribe members and let out excited shouts!

Food! More food!!”

Five Dragon Beasts roared and flew out.

It crushed towards the Black Feather tribe with an invincible force!

The eruption of catastrophe often occurred in an instant.

The moment the Mother Tree attacked, it seemed to have already announced the fate of the Black Feather tribe.

The five Dragon Beasts above the Physique Realm were truly too much for the

Black Feather tribe to handle. And with the Mother Tree’s characteristic of growing stronger in battle, it was not afraid of a protracted conflict!

The battle raged on for three consecutive days.

Day 53 of the Black Mist Calendar.

The two experts above the Physique Realm, Ayu and Apelo, flew frantically with the remaining tribe members towards a more distant location.

If they could not win, they had to flee!

Unlike the tribe members who were bewildered and lost, Ayu and Apelo’s eyes were filled not only with sorrow but also with despair and viciousness!

Originally, they thought they could rise with the help of this generation of tribulation transcenders to soar.

However, the monster found their home and their entire tribe was annihilated!

The idea of rising was gone. Now, their only option was to figure out how to continue their tribe’s bloodline.

For this, Apelo had an idea.

Looking back at the raging human-headed Dragon Beasts wreaking havoc in the Black Feather Mountain, Apelo gritted his teeth!

“Go east! To find my sworn brother!”

The Black Mist Zone was vast.

Many tribes were unaware that a new generation of Tribulation Transcenders had already arrived.

Now that things had developed to this point, it was impossible for Apelo to have the thought of monopolizing everything.

He could only use this information as leverage, pleading with even stronger beings to protect them and ensure the continuation of their bloodline.

The Black Feather tribe fled in panic and defeat.

The New Yorkers, on the other hand, had a chance to catch their breath.

Considering their weak strength, the Mother Tree was no longer interested in the energy contained within their flesh and blood.

So, after some back and forth, the Mother Tree forgot about them…

The Blood Flesh Mother Tree was temporarily rooted on Black Feather Mountain—how long this “temporary” would be depended on news from Lu Ming’s side.

For the New Yorkers, they seemed to have found spiritual sustenance.

The Mother Tree had become their totem and belief.

Day 54 of the Black Mist Calendar.

Following Anderson’s demise, the new leader of the New York gathering point ascended Black Feather Mountain, preparing to pay respects to the Mother Tree.

The Mother Tree did not receive them…

To the Mother Tree, these New Yorkers were inconsequential— Tribulation Transcenders? It was a Tribulation Transcender too…

Using them as reserve food was fine, but their strength was just too weak, barely enough to fill a gap in their teeth.

Instead, Simba suggested an idea.

“Why not give them to us as a reward? We can’t be of much help by your side, and we’re more comfortable being with these humans.”

The Mother Tree said gently, “That’s acceptable.”

Compared to staying by the Mother Tree’s side, it was naturally safer and more comfortable to stay with the New Yorkers. Even though Simba and Lianjie were zombies, wasn’t Xu Rufang still a living human?

Moreover, now that they were already in the Black Mist Zone, the distinction between living humans and the zombies was not so clear-cut.

In the name of the Mother Tree’s envoys, Simba, Lianjie and Xu Rufang arrived at New York’s gathering place.

That night.

Amidst Xu Rufang’s baffled expression, she became the new leader of the New York gathering place…

Far away in the distant skies of New York, they were destined to not capture Lu Ming and Velo’s attention.

The journey was simply too far, and there was no way to receive news.

Day 54 of the Black Mist Calendar.

Lu Ming had a faint premonition.

The Black Feather tribe might not come again.

Of course, preparations were still necessary, but Lu Ming had let go. He maintained a calm att.i.tude and stopped tormenting himself over this matter.

However, the smile on Velo’s face was about to disappear.

This was because the black rice had ripened.

The cultivation of other crops had also progressed.

This meant that he might not have any excuse to continue staying in the Nanxiang gathering place.

Day 56 of the Black Mist Calendar

Today was a momentous day for Lu Ming!

This was because his Knight’s Body Forging Technique was about to advance!

In the evening, after dinner, Lu Ming began the formal breakthrough!

As he progressed step by step with the Body Forging technique, Lu Ming soon felt a surge of heat in his body!

After completing a cycle of the Body Forging Technique, Lu Ming felt that his brain was filled with more insights about the Knight’s Body Forging Technique.

More refined movements, a deeper integration of Source Power with bodily cells, a more perfect alignment with the rhythm of breath.

About ten minutes later, Lu Ming opened his eyes and accessed his attribute panel!

The development was within Lu Ming’s expectations.

In the proficient stage of the Knight Body Tempering Art, every cycle increased 5 three-dimensional attributes and 5 free attributes!

Compared to the 2 points in the Mastery stage, it was 3 more points!

This meant that his strength was rapidly and steadily improving.

In any case, it was a joyous event!

Lu Ming was in high spirits and happy with his good results.

That night, Lu Ming practiced the Knight’s Body Forging Technique nine more times and went to sleep with a satisfied smile.

Another four days pa.s.sed.

Day 60 of the Black Mist Calendar.

Early in the morning, after Lu Ming consumed exotic beast meat and black rice paired with a little cold-dressed bok choy at home, he left his house and arrived at the entrance of the Nanxiang gathering place.

At the entrance, Velo and Fala had backpacks on their shoulders and were bidding farewell to Huo Sheng and the others.

After a few days of interaction, both sides had built some trust, and overall, it had been quite pleasant.

However, now that the crops were ripe, Velo and Fala did not have a reason to stay here any longer.

Looking at the smiling faces of the people in front of him, Velo smiled, but he felt a bitter taste in his heart.

He really wanted to question the Black Feather tribe directly, “Where the h.e.l.l did you all go?!”

After a brief farewell, Velo and Fala turned to leave.

They heard Lu Ming’s voice coming from behind.

“Merchant Sir, if you have any Source Power skills to sell, please come here! I’m buying them all!”

Velo stopped in his tracks as another idea rose in his heart.

“That’s right. It’s not like traveling merchants can only come here once.”

“Lu Ming needs Source Power skills. Wouldn’t it be fine if I brought some to him?”

With this thought in mind, Velo could not help but quicken his pace.

He was preparing to return to the tribe’s gathering place first..
